Four members of the LeTourneau University men's basketball team scored in double figures to lead the host YellowJackets to a 74-71 overtime win over Rhodes College on Saturday afternoon at the Solheim Arena.

LeTourneau (1-1) was led by sophomore Ladaria Brown, who knocked down four 3 pointers, who scored a game-high 19 points. The Henderson, Texas native hit three of the four 3 pointers in the second half. Joining Brown in double figures was senior Justin Jones, who scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his first double double of the season.

Joining Brown and Jones in double figures was junior Josh Thornton, who came up clutch off the bench with 12 points – seven of which came in overtime and senior Chad Williams, who had five rejections for the second-straight night to tie a career-high, added 14 points.
 
The YellowJackets capitalized on a 39-33 advantage on the boards with a 12-2 margin on second-chance points. Despite the score being tied six times, LeTourneau never relinquished the lead in the win.

Rhodes (1-3) also had four in double figures including Geoff Livsey, who had 19 points to lead the Lynx. Johnny Dunavant added 11 on the strength of three 3 pointers and Tate Sledge and Drew Miller each scored 10 for the Lynx.
 
The overtime started with the two teams going back and forth and with the game tied at 65, Thornton hit a 3 pointer with 1:11 to play that put the home team  up by a 68-65 margin. After a timeout by the visitors, the Lynx missed a 3 pointer and Thornton came down with a clutch rebound. Next, he was fouled and added two free throws to stretch the lead to five, 70-65.
 
LeTourneau's Chris Hynes added two more free throws after an offensive foul by Rhodes on the ensuing possession to put the YellowJackets up 72-65 with 35 seconds to play.
 
Rhodes would get as closer as three with three seconds to play but the YellowJackets secured the win.
